Multi-professional Teams in all-day Schools (MuTiG)

The project aims to provide students of the teaching profession with competencies to design processes of social inclusion as well as precursor skills to cooperate in a multi-professional team. A prejudice-conscious attitude, also in relation to other professions, is necessary to be able to use heterogeneity productively for educational processes. To reduce prejudices and to change subjective theories, both the perception of discrimination structures and the knowledge of different (professional and non-professional) positionings, evaluations and (un)conscious attitudes prove to be promising.

The implementation and relevance of cooperation with other professions is learned in the project through practical testing. The students reflect on different points of view and their own prejudices using elements from anti-bias training. These elements are then implemented in a service-learning project lasting several weeks in an all-day school, which is intended to address and reduce group-related misanthropy among the students. Tandems, each consisting of a prospective teacher and a social work student, carry out a measure in the all-day school.

The evaluation of the project is based on a mixed-methods design with two comparison groups and a control group. It focuses on the ability to reflect, tendencies towards prejudice, attitudes towards cooperation with other professions, and pedagogical competence and performance (such as perspective-taking, value pluralism, active listening).
